Question 1184250: A business loan of Php 45,000 is given to Mr. Smith. The monthly payment for the loan amounts to Php 11,485.35 for 4 months. The interest rate used is 10% convertible monthly. How much is the outstanding balance after the first payment?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the outstanding balance when you start is 45,000
the monthly interest rate is 10/12/100 = .00833333.....
the 45000 is multiplied by (1 + .00833333.....) to get 45375.
the 11,485.35 is then subtracted to get 33889.65 remaining balance after the first payment.
